2021 Team Options

The Pink Gorilla Events team is hopeful that we can hold an in-person relay. That being said Governmental Health Officials always have the ability to not allow the event. Outlined below is our updated flexible deferral policy.

• Defer to Next Year. Your team can defer at any time prior to race day. Below is how it works.

However, if we must cancel the in-person event due to coronavirus, all registered teams will compete in a Virtual Relay and receive a 50% discount off of next year’s race.

Please note that we have created registration policies that are as flexible as we can make them. We are a small business and commit financially to expenses related to a race well in advance of it. Thank you for understanding and supporting Pink Gorilla Events and local running. Under no circumstances will refunds be issued. We encourage you to read all race registration policies here.

Exact policies for the Run Safe Commitment will be adapted as coronavirus conditions change. Final policies will be determined at least one week prior to the event and emailed to all participants. Keeping everyone as safe as possible is our top priority. Below are anticipated policies. 

Social Distancing

• Event signage will promote safe social distancing practices including maintaining 6 feet of distance between other teams.
• Waiting spots will be provided to aid in social distancing at restrooms. 
• Personal responsibilities will be communicated to athletes, staff, volunteers, vendors, and sponsors prior to the event.

Cleaning and Sanitation

• We will reduce touch points to minimize physical interactions and deploy frequent cleaning and sanitation.
• Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the event including packet pickup, higher traffic areas, and in and around portable toilets.
• We will use increased safety and hygiene practices for staff and volunteers including use of masks, gloves and regular hand sanitization.

Personal Protective Equipment

• All staff and volunteers will wear face covering at all times. 
• In addition to social distancing measures, athletes may be required to wear a face covering at the event anytime out of the van, while not running. This will depend on current conditions. 
• Transparent plastic barriers will create separation at essential interaction points such as packet pickup. 

Screening and At-Risk Persons

• Athletes, staff, volunteers, vendors, and sponsors will be asked to self-screen and stay home for any of the following reasons:

– Have been in contact with someone testing positive for Coronavirus in the 14 days prior to the event.
– Have experienced or been in contact with someone experiencing any Coronavirus symptoms in the 14 days prior to the event.
– Have a body temperature reading of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
